As you see through the 2 images, we have already started working on our community awareness CD thats going to be handed out to our booth visitors at the Orange County Fair this coming July. We're very excited about this project and were also very optimistic that we will produce a very comprehensive and fully inclusive CD that has the critical answers to these three statements;

Who We Are

What We Do

How You Can Help Us

Also included will be answers to commonly asked questions by our past booth visitors. The CD will also have additional information expected by our booth visitors.

This is also an excellent opportunity for you, your organization, and your business to Say Cheese! with us through our CD handout.

If you're interested in having your information included in our comprehensive awareness CD, feel free to contact us through our contact page link on the left hand side of this blog.

And the deadline is May 1, 2008 (12:00 noon) for all submissions to our master CD.

As we have seen in this past weekend, several video blogs on deafvideo.tv proves that debates involving religion brings out the worst in the deaf community. It's highly divisive and the fireworks involved can get out of hand like one lady making a threat to another. The reason I got excited over this is that there is visible proof of the point I'm trying to make in this blog entry.

The same story can be seen in many deaf forums and blogs. And this is not entirely limited to the deaf community. The hearing have their debates involving religion and they too get out of hand.

We can see that religion has a negative impact on the community, a negative impact on the unity of the community.

The difference is that the hearing folks can easily kiss, make up, and move on whilst the deaf community cant.

We have two communities; the deaf community that's extremely fragile these days and the hearing community thatisn't fragile at all.

So how do we go about bringing peace and unity within the extremely fragile deaf community?

One of the best answers lies in secularism which means the state of being without religion. Let's secularize the deaf community because religion itself doesn't unite, instead it divides and we've seen plenty of it in this past weekend.

Given all these facts and video testimonials, it's very safe to suggest that secularizing the extremely fragile deaf community will go a very long way toward uniting and preserving it.
